Get a Grip

[Samuel Phelps]

Hey guys what’s the best way to take a grip off the handle and not mess it up ?
First thing comes to mind is hot water ?

The wife’s blow dryer works good also.

Prepare to be boarded!

Dream up a way to push it off, rather than pull it off  (after you warm it up)

Does your grip have a hole in the outside end?   If it does use some compressed air from your air compressor.   Place a blow gun over the hole and give it a blast.   We used to take motorcycle hand grips off like that.   Hang on to the grip ’cause sometimes it goes flying!

Thanks guys , yes it does have the hole in the end . Never thought about using the air .. I’ll warm it up first and get a feel on how well it’s stuck on there . It’s in pretty decent shape so hopefully I don’t tear it up . Lol ! Are there replacements or alternative grips for the small grip that connects the 2 lower covers in front of the motor ?

Update: really hot tap water and a bit of soap did the trick . Is there any way short of painting to bring the whiteness back to the grip ?
